An illegal gun would be one carried by a felon, an illegal alien, or anyone else carrying without a permit, so I see nothing wrong with this program.

I do. The underlined portion illustrates a fundamental flaw in your thinking; in order for a permit to be valid the action being permitted cannot be one that is inherent to man. And example of this: permits to rally or protest -- these are absolutely illegitimate because you as a person have a right to express your opinion. Likewise, the permitting of weapons assumes that a man does not have an inherent right to protect himself.

it could be the permit part that others will disagre with you on, seeing that it turns a right into a govt-revocable privilege, if you can even get a permit in the first place.

I think most Americans won’t miss freedom at all, as long as they have a big-screen TV and a six-pack.

It seems more likely to harass the legal owners.

Hmmm..Sounds simple...

Please provide a description of someone carrying an illegal gun...

Of course, if the gun is wearing a ski mask there would be no question when you spot someone carrying or otherwise possessing a gun...
